5:00 pm
alive and well. you are letting us know what you think of tonight. we thank you for that. by the way, catch me on "outnumbered." i am sandra smith. by the way, martha will be back here tomorrow at 7:00 eastern for the immigration town hall. >> bill: "the o'reilly factor" is on tonight. the left in america are angry that some illegal aliens classified as dreamers are now under scrutiny by the trump administration. "talking points" will tell you one very disturbing situation. >> i hate the press. i hate you especially. the fact is, we need to you. need a free press. >> bill: as the national media free? or have they allied themselves with the democratic party? we will have a special report. >> presidents during world war ii? >> i don't know. it wasn't clinton, right? >> bill: also, ahead, watters
5:01 pm
talking presidents with the folks. >> now, you are making me feel really stupid. [laughter] >> bill: confident dominant caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. as "the factor" begins right no now. ♪ >> bill: hi, i am bill o'reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. the truth about the crackdown on illegal immigration. that is the subject of this evenings "talking points" memo. 23-year-old daniel ramirez medina arrested by i.c.e. earlier this month and a seattle so would barbara saying he is being brutalized by the trump administration. his story is fascinating. mr. ramirez medina came here at age seven, the son of an illegal alien criminal named antonio ramirez. there he is. he spent a year and a washington state prison for felony drug trafficking. he was a dealer. infinite i.c.e. rate, he was picked up along with his son,
5:02 pm
but get this. ramirez-pelndo has been deported eight times. yet, still was residing outside of seattle. would you want someone in your neighborhood deported eight times? we have not heard one, not one, liberal voice commenting on that. instead, they are focusing on daniel. >> and another assault on our values, in the past week, we have witnessed i.c.e. rates across our nation, targeting parents, students, and daca protected dreamers. >> bill: the protection congresswoman pelosi is talking about was mandated by president obama. it is called deferred action for childhood arrivals or daca. essentially, the order says that children brought to america by illegal alien parents and to have no criminal history should be allowed to stay and work her. daniel ramirez medina was part of that program. the problem is the department of
5:03 pm
homeland security now says he is admitted to having gang affiliations. his attorney denies it. but he has a tattoo on his forearm which some people believe signifies gang me "the factor" is trying to confirm that but so far, we have not been able to do so. it might just be a tattoo with no implications. now, that gang allegation was enough for i.c.e. to hold daniel, who has a 3-year-old son in this country. but the left has now taken the case and made it a centerpiece of attacks on president trump crackdown on criminal illegal aliens. but the anti-trump crew totally ignores the father! and the sun was in the father's home! indicating the left doesn't care at all if a foreign national is deported eight times and is still here. remember, the alleged murder of kate steinle was deported five
5:04 pm
times in san francisco county, still protected him, right up until the time the man was arrested and accused of shooting her to death. so, step back for a moment. one part of the country, led by president trump, wants to deport criminal illegal aliens and secure the borders, so, they can't get back in here. another part of the country doesn't want strict border enforcement and doesn't seem to care that criminals can defy deportation as many as eight times! so, what seder you want? one final thing. every time, and i mean every time, the subject of criminal illegal aliens arises, the democratic party will not engag engage. instead, they fall back on the ruse that the illegal immigration crackdown is aimed at chambermaids and house painters. do you hear that over and over and over. in the case of daniel ramirez medina, there is certainly
5:05 pm
enough in play to investigate him further. is there not? in the case of his father, who again was deported eight times, if kate's law were passed, he'd be serving decades in a federal penitentiary. that is "the memo." now, to the top story, joining us from washington, charles krauthammer. the word anarchy comes to my mind when i hear a foreign criminal is deported eight times. am i wrong? >> well, look, i think what you have is a case that is pretty clear-cut. i don't think there is a lot of ambiguity here. they guy is deported eight time times. he was serving, he served time for a felony. he was a drug dealer. he is out of here. if you apprehend him, you kick him out. then, if he returns, hopefully, you pass a law that would criminalize the return. and you throw him in the slammer. the case of the sun is more difficult. but it is not a philosophical
5:06 pm
distinction. it is simply a matter of facts. either he is a gang member or was where he is not. the fact is, we don't quite know, either the tattoo is a gang tattoo or it's not. you bring in some experts. you have them look at it. as to the question of whether he has confessed, or will confess, to being a gang member, you bring him in, you question him, you cross-examine him, and you make a determination. that happens in our courts every single day. if he is a gang member, out of here. if he has not, he stays. if there is ambiguity, you create a category for the guy -- >> bill: a he is innocent until proven guilty. you have to prove -- >> have him come in every six months to a year after a few years, if his record is clean, then, he states.
5:07 pm
if not, he goes. this is not solomonic. >> bill: there's a bigger picture here. you are the demonstrations, okay, free daniel. he is now the centerpiece of the left screaming, "trump is a fascist," "anti-immigrant, anti-migrant." where as a sign that says "put daniel's father in federal prison for defying deportation eight times? "where is that son, charles? where is it? this is a movement, this is a whole party. the democratic party is invested and allowing daniel's father, a convicted dope dealer, to stay here, despite eight deportations. at that party is invested in making this man innocent so he can stay! that is anarchy! >> look, bill, i would be happy
5:08 pm
to write you a prescription to calm you down. >> bill: you are not answering my question, charles. >> i'm going to answer you. >> bill: good. >> there is nothing new here. >> bill: tell me why would they are doing this. tell me why they are doing that. >> we have had demonstrations for 25 years about a cop killer in philadelphia who killed a cop, who was tried in court, is in jail, and it is still there. >> bill: why are they doing it? >> sum -- you have the far left- >> bill: these aren't crazy people. >> how do you know that? >> bill: because you have reporters out there talking to them. this isn't george soros, get out there. these are people who actually feel that trump should not go after criminal illegal aliens. they don't feel that way. because they are stalwart democrats. >> you think that there is a
5:09 pm
substantial number of people in america outside of the far left who really don't want to do anything about aliens who have convicted of criminality? >> bill: charles, are you living in this world? kate's law was voted down by almost every democratic senator. okay? if the party, the folks in the party, one of this problem to be solved, they never would have gotten away with that. but they did! >> the way to go after this, bill, i know you are wedded to kate's law, i know it means a lot to you, and i would support it. but it won't make a dime's worth of difference. you know it will sanctuary cities. you want to make a difference? it doesn't matter. the one you want to do, kate's law, it is nice symbolism. but how about some reality here? you pass a law that says that you cut out the funds, not just executive orders, let's get a lot to cut off the funds --
5:10 pm
>> bill: we assume that will happen. that still doesn't explain regular americans, not outraged about a guy in seattle with eight deportations. it still doesn't explain it. and i am looking for answers. charles, as always, good debate. next on the rundown, a democrat will respond to the evidence we responded and "talking points." later, as the president of america really free?

♪ >> bill: a related story, deporting criminal aliens in the dream or. joining us from chicago, austan goolsbee, former member of president obama's cabinet. i will ask you what i asked mr. krauthammer, not one sign, not one anybody upset about his father, where daniel was found in the house, being deported
5:14 pm
eight times. what the deuce is going on in the democratic party? >> i kind of think you have several things going on in your critique. aren't they somewhat contradict each other. the reason the democrats are protesting the trump policy, and they are not wrong to be protesting the trump policy, is that donald trump started by saying he wanted to deport people that were criminals but he now tried to redefine what are criminals. they are literally going down a woman complained about being abused by her boyfriend, and when she filed the complaint, they arrested her. >> bill: let me stop you there there. wait a minute. in any kind of a bureaucracy, and mass order of criminal alien deportation, you are going to have mistakes made. i do your party, the democrats, seize upon not to define the whole thing. if you make one mistake, you
5:15 pm
seize upon it. he wants this poor woman thrown out, blah, blah, blah. let's focus in on the seattle situation. >> wait a second. you are doing the same thing you are accusing them of doing, which is, you are taking one single instance and trying to say that, trying to conclude something about what every democrat -- >> bill: we are working on a story now about two police officers shot in california today. >> 2 million instances, bill. the thing that is objectionable about donald trump's policy is he started by saying, let's deport criminals, now, he is redefining who are criminals. >> bill: i'm not sure he's redefining it. i haven't seen any. let's stay on the seattle story. wait a minute. if you can show me the redefinition, i will be happy to read it on the air. but you don't have it. >> they issued an executive order redefining what constitutes a criminal, that is
5:16 pm
more than a factor of three in excess of how many there are. >> bill: you got this kid who is picked up with his father. his father, i can assure you, it should be kicked out of the country. i would put him in prison first. >> kate's law. >> bill: no, no. the guy in seattle, the kid's father. you would support immediately putting him out or putting him in person? correct? >> yeah, i would. that has been a priority of many presidents. >> bill: at the priority, he got back eight times. we know how staunch the priority was. now, the son -- >> kate's law is the opposite of trump's policy. >> bill: wait, doctor! his son is picked up in the house with him. got his tattoo. i.c.e. agent say the son admits to gaining membership. admits! the kid's lawyer says, no, he is
5:17 pm
innocent. okay. you hold him, right? then, you find out what the story is, right? >> look, i don't know! >> bill: do you hold him or not, doctor! you don't know! >> you can say that you might, might. it's >> bill: this is what is wrong with your party! you're a democrat! democrats don't want any deportation! they want total nonenforcement! it doesn't matter! you don't want to get to the bottom of daniel! >> you are making a straw man. you know you are fighting a straw man. that is not the position of the democratic party. >> bill: oh! where is one democratic senator besides manchin voting for kate's law? >> now you are back on kate's law. that is a totally different situation. kate's law says the opposite of
5:18 pm
what they are fighting about on trump. trump wants to take people that he calls criminals and throw them out of the country. and they are nervous that they aren't criminals. >> bill: tomorrow -- >> that is like grandma coming back to go to a wedding. you throw them in federal prison. >> bill: yeah, grandma was coming back to go to a wedding, okay. you can get papers to do that, doctor. tomorrow, because you intrigued me now with this redefinition of the trump deportation order, i am going to have it. i'm going to get it. and we are going to read it, exactly what it is. and we will see. maybe you'll come back. >> i want you to get it. it redefines criminals. >> bill: there you go. what hard news note tonight, today in florida, president trump announced his new national security advisor. 54-year-old lieutenant general h.r. mcmaster, director of the army capabilities integration center. the general is instrumental in putting together the surge in iraq under president brooke

5:22 pm
>> bill: "impact segment" tonight. a free press. as the usa really hard one? that is a subjective the second "talking points" memo this evening. the president trump taking on the national media, saying much of it is corrupt and fake news. major controversy has erupted, as you know. mr. trump has been criticized by both the left and the right. >> i hate to the press. i hate you, especially. but the fact is, we need you.
5:23 pm
we need a free press. we must have it. it is vital. if you want to preserve, i'm very serious now. if you want to preserve democracy as we know it, you have to have a free press and many times adversarial press. >> bill: senator mccain apparently believing that the american process quote free. but it is not true? many americans believe that the national media has now become an arm of the democratic party. that is, they don't coordinate with the democrats, they are not attending meetings, but they are their sympathies are simpatico with a party. on television, the overwhelming number of newscasters are liberal. >> the constitution anticipated this. the founding fathers anticipated donald trump. they feared tyrants. >> the question, has the right experience and judgment. hillary clinton won those questions by a gargantuan amounts on numbers. >> he never denied it. but i think with the people are
5:24 pm
saying, he doesn't -- we don't care. we don't want to hear it. we don't care. >> bill: now, president trump has taken office, and the attacks on him are weathering. >> president trump, if you are watching, you are the president. you legitimately won the presidency. no, get to work and stop whining about it. >> it is very irresponsible, ultimately dangerous moment in history, some almost a proto- fascist moment in history. the media itself is broken. >> as we know, since 2,000, there has been a couple dozen suspicious deaths of journalists and russia who came out against the government there. donald trump has made no secret about going after journalists. distaste for any news that doesn't agree with him here. do you find that this is a dangerous path he is heading down? >> bill: now, he is going to kill us. again, it is not a stretch for any fair-minded person to
5:25 pm
believe that the national media leans heavily left and despises president trump. not willing to give him a chance or any benefit of the doubt. surely, that is what is going o on. surely. as for the adversarial nature of the press, senator mccain is correct. the founding fathers gave us specific freedom so we could tell you how the people in power were behaving. but when the press aligns itself with a political movement, in this case, liberalism, then, it is no longer objective or free, because it is sympathizing with a political point of view. it is tethered to a philosophy. this is not unique to america. the european press is far left, generally speaking. they are worse than the press here. but in america, president trump has made this an enormous issue. some believe that the fox news
5:26 pm
channel is not fair and free. i dispute that, pointing to analysis of our on-air personne personnel. we put forth both sides. president obama would disagree. remember, he complained about the press, too. >> you think i am unfair to you? >> absolutely. of course you are, bill. but i like you anyway. >> give me how i am unfair. you can't make that accusation without telling me. >> bill, you just went through an interview, and what you asked about health care not working, irs, corrupt, benghazi, so, the list of issues that you talked about -- >> these are my questions. >> but they are defined by you guys in a certain way. look, this is okay. if you want to be president of the united states, then, you know that you are going to be subject to criticism. >> bill: but if it is unfair, i want to know it is it unfair?
5:27 pm
criticism is criticism. it is my job to give you a hard time. >> bill: it is my job to give everyone an power a hard time. and i do. your member that president trump told me i should see a psychiatrist at one point. but i don't have an agenda, other than an honest presentation. >> bill: i like barack obama as i have liked george w. bush. i think they are both patriots, okay? you may not agree with their policies, you may think that they are not managing well. that's fine. everybody has an opinion. but as human beings, i think they are both trying to do what is best for the country. so, i admire that, i respect that. >> bill: for saying that, the far right hammered me. summing up, if the american press wants to regain respect, it needs to dig its outwardly liberal bent. i know all these people. i know all the anchors, most of the producers, i know who they are and how they think. in the national press, it is at least ten to one, liberal over
5:28 pm
conservative. and that is the truth. and that is to be. plenty more ahead "the factor" moves along this evening. brit hume, how do president trump's accomplishments in the first month rate? and watters talking about the presidents' day. >> what are you doing to commemorate the presidents? >> basically, i'm trying to earn some dead presidents.

5:32 pm
♪ >> bill: "unresolved problems" segment tonight. is the media capable of being objective, thereby, being free? joining us from boston, mary anne marsh. and from washington, katie pavlich. use a say, katie? >> i think you have seen, over the course of the past three decades, much of the press is just liberals parading around a subject of journalists. i think it would do the country more of a fever and regain some credibility if they can admit that they come at the news a liberals perspective and that is the way they are reporting the news. people know where they are coming from, therefore, they are able to discern the facts for themselves. >> bill: everybody should understand, there is a difference between opinion shows like this one at hard news reporting. we are talking about hard news reporting. marry anne is going to dispute that, i can read her mind right
5:33 pm
now, the media is not liberal. i'm going to let you reply to what she is going to say before she says it. how do you answer? >> you are going to lie to me reply to marry anne? >> bill: she's not going to cop to that. >> i can't read minds. the majority of journalism professors, the vast majority, 90 plus percent of this country, or liberals for the journalists they produce are liberal. they love going to the white house correspondents dinner, now that there is a republican office, they don't want to go to the dinar. we see questions being asked to the republican administration that we don't see being asked of democratic administrations. the list goes on and on. it is clear that the press is biased to the left and there is a reason why andrew breitbart used to called a democratic media complex because it exactly what it is. >> bill: marry anne, go ahead, state your case real quick, then, i'll get to the specific questions. >> [laughs] thanks, bill. there are some are progressive
5:34 pm
reporters. yes, can you see it in their work on my shirt. as a troop of all of the media? no. there are plenty of examples -- >> bill: is ten to an accurate survey? >> have you done a survey? there is plenty of reporters, julie pace of ap, jonathan karl of abc couple who are at the white house, who are very tough on obama and very tough on trump. chris wallace was tough on reince priebus yesterday, you made fox fans unhappy. that is how it should be. have i think a lot of people are getting more of that then the critics another suggest. >> bill: you are a very media savvy person. name the conservative presidents on cbs news. okay? >> reporters? >> bill: name the conservative presence on cbs news. name the conservative presence on nbc news. >> i think he is more
5:35 pm
conservative than you portrayed him in the club tonight. >> bill: maybe that is true. but he is certainly not a conservative presence. nbc news? >> robert costa does a terrific job as a contributor. >> bill: robert costa? >> yeah. >> bill: i don't even know who he is. >> he is a good reporter. >> he is very good. >> bill: but he's not a conservative presence. >> he's not an anchor. >> he is on all the time. on all the programs. >> bill: but he's not a conservative. on "abc news." who's a conservative presence? >> john carl. >> bill: john carl is a conservative in your opinion? >> yes. >> bill: okay. cnn. he was a conservative presence? >> i don't have one for you there. >> bill: msnbc? >> don't have one for you there. >> joe scarborough. >> yeah, joe scarborough. >> bill: five of the major networks, okay. enter your credit, came up with a couple of names that are debatable.
5:36 pm
at but no major people. i don't believe that carl -- >> bill. lester holt is a registered republican. >> bill: but he is not a conservative presence. nor should he be. he is an anchorman. those networks, all five of them, don't have anyone there. that just makes my point. if i ask you the same question about "the new york times" and "the washington post" and the "l.a. times," you would stammer and starter, too. they are not there. if i did a survey, and i did come i studied the operations, there is no conservative presence. none. >> but "the wall street journal," fox news, rush limbaugh, our number one in all of their categories and all of the categories and you can't say they are left-wing publication. >> bill: nor should they be.
5:37 pm
>> number one, number one, number one. >> bill: all right, ladies. would make come bet, chargers of the trump administration really hasn't done all that much since it took over. then, watters talking a little history with the folks. >> who was this? >> adams? actually, i don't know. >> bill: we are coming right back. ♪ boom. love it.

>> announcer: "the o'reilly factor," the number one cable news show for 16 years and counting. >> bill: thanks for staying with us. i am bill o'reilly. in the "hume zone" segment, the accomplishments of the trump administration thus far. after four weeks, it has ended with a catch and release of illegal immigrants on the southern border. it has ordered the new border wall to be built. and it has tried to limit refugees from chaotic muslim nations. that was harpoon by the courts, as you know. but some anti-trump people say the administration is all talk and little action. >> since winning the election, donald trump is dominated the news nearly every day. he has picked fights with the media, making a series of bizarre, mostly false claims, but in the midst of it all, what has he actually done? hardly anything. >> bill: part is that true? training is not from florida, brit hume. so, evaluating the first four weeks, accomplishments, where would you put the trump administration? >> i would put it pretty high on
5:42 pm
the list, bill. i think he has done quite a number of things that were easily within his power to do but nonetheless important. he has put in place at the education department and the epa people whose very presence and views will make major differences in both education and environmental policy going forward. he has clear the way for the dakota access and keystone xl pipeline's, both of which were tied up in major controversy for years on end. he has left at some of the regulations affecting people's medical care that relate to obamacare. he has already signed a couple of these measures that congress has sent him, which undo regulations that were imposed by the obama administration and more are on the way which he will surely sign. so, in my view, not to mention, of course, the supreme court to nomination, perhaps as important as any of the others, which has been widely acclaimed, and is sought by conservatives in particular to be a very worthy successor to antonin scalia. just think, bill, it was in so many months ago when it looked
5:43 pm
as if antonin scalia would be succeeded by a liberal. so, to say that he is a compass very little, i think it's absurd. >> bill: so, why would mr. fareed zakaria, who is one of cnn's big analysts, make that assertion? >> well, i suspect that it is because the things that he is accomplishing are not agreeable to people like mr. fareed zakaria. i don't know mr. fareed zakaria. but i think he -- >> bill: we talked about earlier on "the factor" tonight, there is this huge divide. i mean, getting bigger by the day. look, whether people like brit hume or not, hume has been around since james polk. he knows what washington is and knows what presidents do. so, hume comes in, not a big fan of barack obama, i think that is accurate, right? i mean come up donald trump? >> nor was i really a
5:44 pm
particularly big fan of donald trump. >> bill: i meant to say donald trump but i'm old and i'm losing my mind. not a big fan of two president trump. but i think you accurately out the mic assessed on top of what i said, what has been going on r weeks. but then, you have the other guy over there saying, well, he didn't do anything. he's a clown come he's this, he's that. so, people don't have any ideological bent. they have no routing interests. they hear you and they hear him and they go, what country am i living in? >> they can certainly listen to the particulars of what you and i have both said, bill, all of which are true. not to mention, may i add, other people and his cabinet, james mattis in particular, jeff sessions as attorney general, people of that caliber, these are well-qualified, highly able people, who will make a difference. james mattis is reassuring allies right and left about whee stand in terms of our asian alliances, where we stand in terms of our nato alliances. mike pence was involved in them, and will, as well.
5:45 pm
there is a lot of it happening. a lot of it is positive, even by the standards of some of those in the new york, washington media establishment. >> bill: no matter what he does, national security advisor today, looks like a pretty good guy, he is never going to get credit. gallup has him, president trump, 42% job approval, 52% disapproval. no matter how you read the poll, some the country remains dividen president trump. i think it will stay that way until the economy at the end of the year, you can find it a little bit. last word. >> i think he has got some legislative achievements that he is going to need to make our taxes in particular, on the repeal and replacement of obamacare. those things will need to come about. if they do, one senses that his approval rate will grow. remember, we are neither logically divided nation, bill. people like barack obama are not going to like what donald trump is doing because those things
5:46 pm
are not aligned and that is the way it is going to be. moreover, a lot of people are going to continue to obsess with the things he says. he says outlandish things. as long as that is the case, he'll have some ammunition. the people that are willing to listen to him, or at least willing to watch what he does, i think, will have a different view. >> bill: every commentator has an obligation to be honest. i don't think we are saying that in this country right now on tv in particular. brit hume, everybody. watters on deck. it is presidents' day! to the folks know anything about american presidents? what you think? do they even care? watters is next.
